Agree with previous reviews and...
Location: off A388 nr Launceston. Narrow access lane last half mile.
Site: all HS; OAY (..and we will be back); 'The Hut' - c/w WC & shwr; Very pleasant hosts - excellent site but a bit isolated for motorhome owners without that alternative transport.
Off site: nearest pub - 'Pint & Post' - 1.8M 'ish' walk - worth the effort.
Only one worry - Greg has never tried a Barnecutts Cornish Pasty - go Greg, go!
Why are we only allowed five ticks? This seems ,not to be a C.L.,but more of a second home,run by Gregg
This should not be classed as a C.L.,it's more like a second home. Greg, Louise and Harvey are fantastic people, who make you welcome from the time of arrival, to time of departure. Members are spoilt by Harvey, who brings free ices ,Mum Louise who always thinks of us ,and cooks one of the best cakes, I have ever tasted (and I've tasted a few!) Whilst Greg is forever working on the upkeep of the Pristine Pitches, never failing to notice if anyone has any problems, and is always prepared to assist if he can. This is our third holiday at this amazing location,and only wish we could score it higher than 5 out of 5. We have visited many C.L.s and generally speaking have be pleased with them, Poole Farm however, tower's above any we have visited. Please keep this to yourselves though, this really is the Jewel in the Crown of "C.L.s"

Too good to be true?
You have read previous reports and may be sceptical about their honesty but this is our second year here and the standards have not dropped, in fact Louise and Greg. have enhanced this outstanding site by adding wifi . Book up quick if you are touring this part of the world and find out about this gem for yourself.

What does one say !!! Perfect
This will be our second visit. We couldn't visit Cornwall without saying hello to old friends (that's how it feels) Louise, Greg & Harvey are a lovely family & so friendly, caring and can't do enough for you to enjoy your stay. They are very busy with improvements but still make you feel special. The site is very tidy and clean, even with building works going on it doesn't encroach on to the camp site or the personal touch by Louise & Greg. Well done both of you keep it up and don't ever change. Thank you Cyndi & Terry
As superb and friendly as ever
Superb site
Visit and then vote it CL of the year, you won't find a better one.
Excellent
We stayed at Poole Farm for 9 nights over the Easter holiday. We arrived later than planned due to the M5 carpark but were greeted with a warm welcome, nice cup of tea and hot cross buns which were greatly appreciated after the long journey.
We got settled on our pitch and were then presented with a cream tea, that was pudding sorted.
This was not the end of the personal touches, on Sunday morning we were presented with Easter eggs and planted flowers in a nice pot.
The Site. The Site has 5 large hard standings all fully serviced. There is no aerial hookup however it is not needed as the signal is strong, even our avtex aerial picked up all the freeview channels. As others as stated the 'hut' is very well appointed with modern bathroom facilities. Even the chemical waste point as been very well thought out. The whole site and facilities are maintained to a very high standard.
It is very obvious that Louise, Greg & Harvey are very proud of their site and rightly so.
Location. Down the bottom of a country lane but we had no problem with a 8 meter twin axle. There are plenty of public footpaths adjacent to the site and apart from local farm traffic the lanes are very quiet. It as nice to just sit and watch the birds feed from the well Stocked feeders adjacent to each of the pitches.
Even though the weather was not kind during the week we were still very sad to leave this peaceful haven.
Summary. A excellent site owned by a lovely family and not to be missed.
Home from Home!
If you enjoy CL's where you have to dig a hole to dispose of the toilet/ waste and lug water from a slow running tap across 2 fields ( as we have done over the last 30 years), then this site is not for you!
We did not believe a CL could reach the standard that Poole Farm and it's meticulous owners Louise, Greg and Harvey have attained. Everything that physically could be done has been, but the personal touches are just as important. You will have to visit to fully understand.
WOW!!!
We can only endorse all of the other 5 star reviews we have read for Poole Farm. Louise and Greg went to such great lengths to welcome us we were made to feel like members of the extended family.
The site is beautifully kept and the facilities are all maintained to the highest standard. It is so obvious that a huge amount of thought and care is put into the site and every effort made to make your stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.
Thank you Louise, Greg and Harvey - wishing you a very successful season and hoping it wont be too long before we can come and visit again!

A memorable Christmas!
Our second visit to this wonderful CL. Greg, Louise and Harvey made us so welcome, even giving us a very special Christmas hamper to enjoy during our stay! Their kindness and generosity extended to welcoming us into their home on Christmas morning with champagne and canapés. Thank you so much for making our Christmas so special. Lisa, Duncan and Sarah.

Superb CL
This site certainly deserves to be cl of the year. As mentioned in previous reviews,we were welcomed by Louise and Greg with tea and biscuits on arrival. We were then shown around the site, by Louise while telling us about the local area and places to visit. The on site dog walking area was great for out two springers as it gave them a chance to run around off the lead. The site is well laid out with large gravel pitches and spotless facilities. The site is a credit to Greg and Louise and would recommend a visit if you want a quiet relaxing holiday.
